FAQ's
What is an affiliate program? How does it work?
An affiliate program, or partner program, is software that allows you to generate income by placing (affiliate) links on your website, email and/or social media. When a customer comes to our webshop via such an affiliate link and places an order, you as an affiliate receive a commission on the total order value (the amount that a customer pays).
With our affiliate program you also receive a personal discount code that you can give to others or promote on your website, social media or e-mail. If this discount code is used, you will receive commission on the entire order value (the amount that a customer pays). This means that you are no longer completely dependent on affiliate links, but you can also generate income if you give your discount code to friends, family, colleagues, customers, or anyone else.
What are the advantages of your affiliate program over others, such as Tradetracker?
Using our own affiliate program over others, such as Tradetracker, has a number of advantages:
- You will receive a personal discount code (with a nice name) that you can use for promotion on your website, social media and/or email.
- Using your discount code makes it more attractive for users to click on your links generating more income (after all, they get a 10% discount on our own brands).
- Your discount code can also be promoted 'offline'. This means that if you give your discount code to someone and he/she makes a purchase on the webshop using this code, you will also receive a commission on this. As a result, you are not completely dependent on affiliate links to generate income.
- The commission through our own affiliate system is 10% (discount packages not included), and only 7% through Tradetracker.
- Our affiliate system gives you access to lots of images and graphics that you can use right away. This way you always have the most beautiful and most recent images to promote.
- Communication lines at Plent are short. Do you have any questions or comments? You will quickly get in touch with the right person to help you further.
- Our affiliate system is simple and clear. You don't need any technical knowledge to use it.

How much commission do I get?
You will receive 10% commission on the total order amount of orders (discount packages not included) closed via your affiliate link or discount code.
For example:
- A visitor sees an image or text link on your website that links (with a tagged affiliate link) to our webshop. He clicks on the link, comes to our webshop and places an order with an total order amount of € 50 ex VAT. Your commission is calculated on total order amount ex VAT. So you will receive € 5 commission on this order.
- You have given your personal discount code to a friend. Your friend goes to our webshop and places an order for which he receives a discount with your discount code. He places an order with an total order amount of € 50 ex VAT. Your commission is calculated on the total order amount ex VAT. So you will receive € 5 commission on this order.
Note: commissions will only be finalized after 30 days and then (if the order has not been canceled or returned) credited to your account in connection with the right of return and right of withdrawal.
Please note: discount packages and shipping costs are not included for commission.
